The WhatsNext verdict
If you enjoy self-aware games that make the interface part of the fiction, Pony Island delivers clever fourth-wall disruption and escalating surprises. Players seeking deep action or consistently strong puzzles may find the underlying gameplay thin.
What it does best
Storytelling unlike anything else
A mix that should not work
What might put you off
The basic gameplay can feel repetitive and underdeveloped
Some puzzles and scares are uneven
The setup
What you are walking into
Pony Island is a suspense puzzle game in disguise. You are in limbo, trapped in a malevolent and malfunctioning arcade machine devised by the devil himself. It is not a game about ponies.
